In a separate article, the newspaper reports on how questions have been raised with the European Commission over a “suspiciously easy” exam set for Maltese trappers that was also shared among them in advance.
The Malta Independent reports that the much-awaited Moneyval report is expected to be delivered to the government in the next week or so.
